I still have no idea why I watched that show every week.

Was it Sinbad? 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

LASIK is expensive.

My wife's operation cost her parents something like US$4k.

I think my vision insurance covers like 50% of the cost.

I've been thinking of getting Lasik done.  But I can't get over the fear that the lasers will blind me.

I have transition lenses; they work fine. The only real problem is they don't transition when you're driving, as the windows are UV filtered.

Try them out. I had one pair of transitions, the first I ever used, that worked well. So I figured to get another pair when I needed to change prescription.  But I was unable to get used to another transition set for really any use, close up or far away, even after having them adjusted, changed, etc. I wound up getting bi-focals in the small bottom corners for reading; works great. I have bi-focals on distance glasses and glasses I use for computer work. I probably don't even need computer glasses to see well but it helps lessen eye strain.

Those comericials look pretty fruity.  I wouldn't try it.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Just get these:



This is my solution.  Transition lens are too expensive.

How much does a seeing eye black guy in Hong Kong cost?

You know what? I was thinking of the glasses that have distance/mid/close lenses all in one. Takes some getting used to.

Transitions are a whole different thing, my bad.   :blush:
